Children with SCD should receive prophylactic penicillin until at least the age of 5 years, even if they have been immunized appropriately with PCV 7 against pneumococcal infections. Penicillin V potassium typically is initiated at age 2 months with a dose of 125 mg orally twice daily until age 3 years and then 250 mg orally twice daily until 5 years of age. The intramuscular use of benzathine penicillin 600,000 units every 4 weeks from age 6 months to 6 years is also an option for non-compliant patients. Penicillin-allergic patients may receive erythromycin 10 mg/kg twice daily. Penicillin prophylaxis usually is not continued in children over the age of 6 years but may be considered in patients with a history of invasive pneumococcal infection or surgical splenectomy.6,18-20... 

Prophylactic penicillin is recommended for children with SCD until they are 5 years old. Beginning at age 2 months or earlier, the dosage is penicillin V potassium, 125 mg orally twice daily until 3 years of age and then 250 mg twice daily until age 5 years, or benzathine penicillin, 600,000 units intramuscularly every 4 weeks from age 6 months to 6 years.

Penicillin prophylaxis until at least 5 years of age is also recommended in children with SCD, even if they have been immunized with the 7-valent vaccine as prophylaxis against pneumococcal infections. Prophylactic treatment should begin at 2 months of age or earlier. An effective regimen that yields an 84% decrease in observed incidence of pneumococcal infections is penicillin V potassium at a dosage of 125 mg orally twice daily until the age of 3 years, followed by 250 mg twice daily until the age of 5 years. An alternate regimen...
